Line 81: − Size for word index is sensitive to mapping performance. A small size of word index will increase the number of calculation cycles for a single read and duplications of a single word. On the other side, a big size will require much larger memory. Please also keep in mind that appropriate size is related to your hardware architecture. For practically purpose, we found size of 15 is optimal.+

The length of the index words influences mapping performance. Using short index words increases the number of calculation cycles for a single read and duplications of a single word. On the other side, long index words require much larger memory. Please also keep in mind that appropriate size is related to your hardware architecture. For practical purposes, with at least 20 Gb of RAM, we find that a size of 15 is optimal.
